There is also the potential in the future for a ruthless trainer with multiple runners to scratch too late even though horse not right sat so as to keep out a late qualifier with a big hope say derby winner champion or killer lexus winner

another melb cup and another scratching. and another horse misses a start because the tab refuses to spend $1 million - their oft reported figure - to upgrade their software so they can bet on field sizes greater than 24 horses. it is high time the racing authorities fought back from the thug that is the tab. remove the gun from their head. if racing victoria amended their rules to allow emergencies in the melb cup, the tab would install the required software within a few days. the tab DOES NOT control racing in australia. it's high time they realised this. and one more thing, saddlecloth numbers are simply numbers. they are NOT "tab numbers" as the tab wants you to believe. the sooner racing authorities stand up to this publicly listed corporate bully the better off raving will be.

Is it correct that the TAB canned the emergencies more than 30 years ago because the TAB installed a new computer sydtem that ciuld only handle 24 runners? LOL a world famous race treated like a picnic meeting
